Jasper helped me balance-walk across an enormous fallen pine tree in the moss-covered forest. Elizabeth, Valerie, Dylan, Edward, and Bella were with us.

"How long have you been like this?" Elizabeth asked Edward.

"Since nineteen-eighteen. That's when Carlisle found me," Edward replied as they walked, Elizabeth nodded. "I arrived with Alice and Anthony a few decades ago," Jasper replied.

"Where'd he find you?" Bella asked. "In a hospital, dying of Spanish influenza," Edward replied. "My parents had already died."

"We know that feeling?" I said, Elizabeth and Valerie nod.

"What does is feel like?" Dylan asked. "The word excruciating comes to mind," Jasper answered. "But what Carlisle did was much harder... not many of us have the restraint to do that," Edward added.

"Didn't he just... bite?" Bella asked. "Not just. Our bite contains venom," Jasper replied.

"And once we taste blood, a sort of... frenzy begins. It's almost impossible to stop." "But Carlisle did," Bella said.

"First with me," Edward replied. "then with his wife, Esme. He found her in a hospital, as well. Rosalie joined us. Later she found Emmett."

"Does someone have to be dying to become like you?" Valerie asked, picking up herbs on the ground.

We walked along a stunning coastline, rugged black rocks, covered in bright green moss, perfect for potions.

"....No, that's just Carlisle. He would never do... this, to someone who had another choice," Jasper said. "So Carlisle's the reason why you hunt animals, instead of people," Bella concluded.

"Not the only reason," Jasper said as he looks at me with love in his eyes.

"I don't want to be a monster." "You're not a monster to me love," I told him, he smiled.

"We call ourselves vegetarians, by the way...," Edward explained. "For our kind, hunting animals is like living on tofu. It keeps you strong but isn't very satisfying."
